For prospective degree students

What is a degree student?

Degree students are students that stay at UGent for the entire study programme and after successful completion, receive a UGent diploma.

If you are only here for a limited amount of time and will obtain a diploma from your home university, you are an exchange student.

If you already are a registered Ghent University student, you can visit the webpage for current students for more information on course schedules, exam periods, track counselling, etc.
